Dr Lefkowitz was my brother's, my mother's, and my family doctor since I was born. When I was a child it was fine, but when I got into my teen years and my symptoms of mental illness started to show enough for my parents to get worried enough to send me to my doctor it all went down hill.
He didn't help me when I first became depressed, he didn't help when I had my first sti when I was sexually assaulted. I had to wait minimum 2 weeks to have a scheduled appointment, and I had to travel over 2 hours to get to the office, and I still had to wait at least an hour after my appointment was scheduled to see Dr. Lefkowitz.
Even if I was willing to pay he wouldn't fax my prescription to my pharmacist, he never asked me if I was sexually active.
The final straw for me, and the rest of my family, was when I came to Dr. Lefkowitz's to change my anti depressant meds. After I waited my standard hour for him to see me a pharma rep came into the office. The moment he came in Dr. Lefkowitz sent him to wait in on if the offices. He then called my name, and since the pharma representative got the last available office, I had my new medication prescribed in the hallway! After that I never went back. read more
